    let me tell you guys about them "'laris's", i had a 400L 4x4, 2 stroke 400... man i love that beast, even though it was a heavy 4x4 with racks, it would tear up the woods pretty good, and it would go anywhere....i could seriously leave some decent rooster with it, all i did was shave the head a tiny bit to raise the compression and put a dual-angle helix in the clutch and it was nutz! i dont know, but any other 4x4 couldnt get my heart pounding like that.....i sold it after i rolled it end for end 4 times through a field during a snowstorm...didnt hurt it, but it was clear i was destined for 3 wheels...lol

    it wont, also the best way to explain it is the crf450 quad isnt even allowed into pro races unless go into the unlimited classes cause they are so fast, they give yfz's HELL they are fast and with 110 octane and a fmf pipe they easy put 60 horses on the dyno, go to sand bros and look at the one they got on there! i have camped witht hat guy and i cant stick with him on my 250R with a pipe and jets

    deathman ** crazy!!! i just got a 1986 250sx and i have trouble shifting into 1st without wheelieing (i dont think i spelt that right). let alone with a 330 engine in it. but part of that could be that i weigh like nothing and my brake is almost gone.

    I have an SX and I don't wheelie when I shift into first?? You're idle must be real high or something.. either that or you punch the throttle when you shift.

    yea it does idle kinda high it needs carb work. nope i never use throttle wen shifting. infact i use brake wen i go into 1st and it tries to wheelie even then.

    Either adjust the clutch or lower the idle SOX.... it should not do that.

    I can stand next to the trike ( not sitting on it ) and kick it into gear and it won't even go forward...... hit the gas and it goes tho..

    My friends all ride dirtbikes so they are fairly good on my trikes, but the first thing they find out is to not put their feet down and how to shift the big red without going back into neutral from 1st!!!

    ^^^Yes thread is old, but I still find it amusing that people find them three wheeled machines crazy scary.
    I had my family over for a Bar-B-Q and pulled up the door on the shed to show them the wheeler (AutoX) that Dave built for me and they were all like "god, aren't those things dangerous?' 'I heard those are Illegal!' 'You're going to get hurt on that' and 'Aren't they supposed to be really tippy?' My sister's husband was even more funny- "I'll never ride any of those...."

    Oh my goodness, get over it! Live and learn, you never know how something really is [or how fun for that matter!] unless you try it yourself, experience, then judge afterward.

    Heres a good one...I know the guy up here that is #1 in Quad MX Expert class in the state (I think he might be going national soon). Ive tried several times to get him to try out my 250r, but he wont even sit on it! Thinks Im crazy to ride a machine that powerful.
